Course content
Course title: Human rights, interculture and citizenship in teachers’ education

Course programme:
Intercultural and Citizenship Pedagogy is one of the fundamental course in the curriculum for students who become teacher of Primary School. The discipline aims at forming the knowledge and competences related to intercultural and citizenship education in consideration of the international migration and the recent introduction of “Constitution and Citizenship” as new compulsory subject in the national curriculum. The knowledge of the Italian Constitution leads the students to the identification of the political and socio-cultural values and understanding the meaning of the resources and strategies for the active citizenship education in the multicultural society and multi-faith context. Special attention concerns the migration of children in the Third Millennium. The research in school educates new teachers for the social inclusion with action against cultural prejudices, racism and social discrimination. The concepts of peace, tolerance, solidarity and responsibility as inclusive citizenship open to challenge in the face of persistent migration that increasingly involves refugee children, unaccompanied at risk of dropping out.
